Re: "It's about time we focus on the enemy"
Some funny shit by Retired General David Grange

So, you think "CNN" stands for "Clinton News Network," do you?
Have you read CNN military analyst General Grange's response
to the Rumsfeld Revolt? If this is liberal bias, then you may as
well label Michael Wiener-Savage a generous, big-hearted
exemplar of level-headedness and emotional maturity.

Allow me to address the occasional observation General Grange makes in this editorial:

"The Rumsfeld vs. General Officer battle has run its course."

It has? General Batiste, not quite done yet, filed this editorial after
you submitted yours, sir. So, technically, you couldn't be further from
the truth. In fact, sir, with all due respect, your response sounds a lot
like a desperate move a fighter getting his ass kicked might make from
the horizontal surface onto which he was just knocked: "why are we
fighting, anyway?" Sounds like loser talk to me. With all due respect.

"As we fight among ourselves, our enemies and some
.politicians relish the friction within our military establishment."

Well, first of all, so what?

Secondly, sir, how do you suggest define "enemy"? I thought this was the Global War on

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

I wonder . . .

I wonder how many intelligent G.I.'s, who don't blindly place ideology or the GOP itself above their own common sense, have experienced the same sentiments expressed by this week's Rolling Stone Magazine?

Oh man, that is one funny cover . . .

Terror we were talking about. You know, the one where our principle enemies are radical, suicidal Muslim paladins?

With all due respect, sir, perhaps you need a reminder: up until a few years ago, our principle military enemies were nations, governments. And yes, many of our enemies still are. But in this new war on terror, we are facing a new type of enemy: the Islamo-nutcase martyr. If you'll recall, sir, nineteen individuals -- not some nation or government -- attacked us on 9/11.

Success in dealing with this new development starts by recognizing what we're dealing with: the individual. Granted, typically an individual steeped in a much different culture than anything we Americans know. But the sooner we recognize we're at battle with the individual personality, and not the national paradigm, the sooner we can move toward a successful strategy.

So, General, you say the inter-DoD communication needs some work, as it was a major deficiency during Vietnam. Seems like a recommendation most people would agree with. But what I don't get is, while saying this, you also imply the public airing of retired Generals vs. Rummy is somehow bad.

Isn't that like saying, "heart patients should stay away from McDonald's, but Burger King is just fine"? Do you actually believe the pertinent "lesson" we should take from Vietnam is communication, but only within the DoD? I thought Generals were masters of the big picture.

This is an actual email (minus the stationery) I received from someone who wrote to "webmaster@fauxnewschannel.com," apparently thinking he was writing to the real FOX News. I've got tons of similar letters from gullible FOX News fans.

And now it's time for...

Letters from people who think
they've written to FOX News.

Individuals who "relish" our infighting, and even those who don't, aren't going to be made more or less pro-USA by witnessing the infighting.

If anything, it will occur to many minds this is a sign of strength: the ability to disagree without self-destruction. And to those already anti-American souls out there, these sorts of episodes may act as pressure relievers, snacks for ravenous appetites. Or to take the metaphor elsewhere, masturbation for a potential rapist.

With all due respect.

Dear Bill Maher,

Normally, I thoroughly enjoy Real Time. But tonight
was an exception.

The next time you have Heather Higgins on your show,
please try to control her.

This Christopher-Hitchens-in-drag-Higgins-person kept yapping throughout your show, regardless whose turn it was to speak. It was like going to a Rolling Stones concert and hearing nothing but Ron Wood's guitar the whole time.

No doubt she's a true conservative - such uncanny filibustering could only originate from someone pre-wired to speak without responding to those around her - but I'd like to have heard more of what General Zinni and Mortimer Zuckerman were trying to say.

I realize there's something dark, delicate, and injured within the psyche of this 120 pounds of flesh/12 pounds of Maybelline, but the show is "Real Time with Bill Maher," not "Showtime for the Emasculated Ego."

Perhaps next time you could keep her sober until after the show.

Thanks Bill,

A huge fan.
